Aha!
This is something I've wanted for a long time [1]. No, I don't think anyone built it yet, sadly.
Basically I was thinking about a browser extension/plugin that would understand that I am posting something on a webpage, and then it would monitor/crawl this webpage, and let me know when a reaction (say, a reply or upvote) happens.
It's something that would require a lot of work, but doable, specially if you start targetting the largest websites (social networks, digg/reddit) and platforms (wordpress installations).
